Okay I have had this happen full blown two different times. Once at 5 weeks out and now at 7 weeks out. I go to bed having no issues. I wake up around 2:00 a.m. And then both times I took a few sips of something to drink Water first time and Powerade zero last night. I go to restroom just to urinate and then Right back to bed. Within 5 minutes both times I immediately get severe stomach/gut cramps and nausea that is bad. I continue cramping and have several bowel movements getting more loose each time until diarrhea starts. Both times my mouth watered and I heaved one time but no vomit just some saliva only and then no more gagging episodes. But my cramps were so bad that last time and today I can barely straighten up I'm so sore.

Last night was worse and this happened. I broke out in totally red blotch on my face. Neck and chest solid red. Each 6 of my incisions were swelled up and red blotches. Had some rash looking stuff where at the bra line and then the lower half remaining of me was okay. My hands were really red and there were blotchy rash like bumps on my wrists and the same in the bend of my elbows. I know I reacted to something I obviously ingested but it was nothing new that I haven't eaten before now.

On a couple of other nightsin the last week I have woken up to feel like my stomach was a little upset but nothing major and I went back to sleep and had no issues.

My status is I have been on food for a week. I was on liquids for first 6 weeks. He doesn't prescribe a

specific puree or mushy phase just wants us to chew food until its that way before swallowing. I do take 40mg of Prilosec every morning before any food or drink. I am really hurting some over that left side where the incisions used to pull during the early days. But as bad as I cramped last night all hurts.

Do y'all think I'm allergic to something or possibly have a leak causing this? I appreciate your input. I'm calling the doctors office as well but I think he does surgery on Fridays. Thank you!

eek! I'm glad you're calling the doctor! It sounds like a horrible side effect of something but I can't even imagine what it is. Good luck!

Could it be from lying down after having a drink? I'm not sleeved yet, but I remember reading that's a no-no. Hope you can get it resolved.

Omg you poor thing!! It sounds like a reaction of some sort. I can't think of what it could be either but I'm glad you are calling the dr! Even if he's in surgery the nurse or someone will be able to help! Please keep us posted on what you find out. Good luck!
